Pedro Munhoz vs. Jimmie Rivera called off
Jimmie Rivera (23-4) was scheduled to fight Pedro Munhoz (18-5) on the main card of UFC 258. The bout had the potential to be an all-time classic bantamweight affair. Both men are spectacular strikers who are in desperate need of a win to launch them back into title contention.
Munhoz seemed destined for a shot at gold after brutally knocking out former champion Cody Garbrandt, but back-to-back losses have stifled the progress he had made in the division.
